The only thing that stops me from getting an iPhone is not 3g, not the keyboard but the lack of a Calling Card feature. On my SE P900, I can store many different calling cards and their calling sequence (Phone+Pin or pin+phone) and before every call, I can choose to use the Calling Card or not. This saves me hundreds of dollars and enormous amount of time as I call overseas numbers.

This script is a good idea but with my existing 2000+ contacts - I would have over 4000 contacts !! This is very un-Applelike and I'm hoping iPhone 2.0 has this feature. I refuse to buy an iPhone without this feature.

The script does not duplicate contacts; it only adds phone numbers within contacts. So you will have the same number of contacts after running this script.

MarigoHoldings has created a native Application for theiPhone that allows you to setup and manage Calling Cards, the 1-1800 numbers, and pins associated with them etc. You can then place a call to any of your contacts using any of the Calling Cards that you set up. This application also allows you to set up favorite contacts, see recent calls made through the application, etc.

While you can append 1800 numbers, pauses etc yourself ... it is a better idea to use one of the iPhone calling card applications.

The best one is CardCaller - a native iPhone application for the iPhone that allows you to add, and manage multiple Calling Cards and the 1-800 numbers, PIN, Dial Settings for them. This Application resembles the Phone application in design, and functionality and offers you the ability to manage Favorites, Recents, etc.

Here is more information about this application:
